Sometimes the best(?) answer is to just follow what has worked best for others .
No need for DOF + Hybrid ceramic bearing. Splash is sufficient. If you wanted to experiment, you could buy a DOF kit and substitute a hybrid ceramic bearing for the generic steel bearing usually included.The generic bearing is only worth $5.
Nobody sells a full ceramic IMSB?

Is this what you mean? check size.

A bigger challenge may be to find an IMSB tool kit at a reasonable price that ships to Malta?
